Abstract: In order to obtain a standing surface, it is known to bevel off the side transoms of the staircase, this usually being carried out with tools which are not available on site. On the one hand, an exact dimensional specification is consequently necessary, on the other hand this method of construction produces waste material, which unnecessarily makes the product more expensive. The object of the invention is therefore to design a side transom in such a way that it can be produced and assembled by very simple means at reasonable cost. For this purpose, the invention provides that on at least one end face of the side transom (1) there is fitted an end piece (2), the base surface of which in line with the side transom (1) being approximately triangularly shaped. In the position for use of the side transom (1), one side of the end piece (2) in this case forms a horizontally or vertically aligned bearing surface. Also provided, in the inner chambers of the side transom (1), are screw channels (5), into which screws (6) passing through the end piece (2) are screwed. A bevelling off of the end faces of the side transom is no longer necessary, so that simple cutting to the appropriate overall length suffices. This results in considerable cost advantages both with regard to production and with regard to assembly. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for injecting food products, for instance pieces of meat, with a liquid, comprising: a support for the pieces of meat for injecting; a needle carrier placed above the support and movable in vertical direction; injection needles fixed to the needle carrier and extending downward; feed means for supplying the liquid for injecting to each of the injection needles; and at least one drive mechanism for driving the needle carrier in vertical direction. For uniform distribution of the injection liquid in the meat it is important that during the downward stroke the speed is as constant as possible. To achieve this the mechanism, which converts the rotational drive into a linear movement, must have a number of freely selectable variables. This is achieved in that the drive mechanism comprises a planetary gear wheel system. In preference the planetary gear wheel system comprises a sun-wheel and a planet wheel and the sun-wheel and the planet wheel have the same diameter and the same number of teeth. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating electrical energy from the rotational movement of the axles of vehicles, in particular rail-bound vehicles, by means of a generator arrangement in which in addition to the generation of electrical energy the speed of rotation of the respective axis is determined. In order to provide a method for operating an axle generator arrangement and an axle generator arrangement itself as well as a use of the same which is matched thereto, with which method a separate angle of rotation sensor can be dispensed with and a safe and reliable supply of energy with as constant electrical voltage as possible is ensured in all operating situations, it is proposed that both the generation of electrical energy and the determination of the speed of rotation should take place exclusively by a generator function, the pulse parameters of each induced electrical voltage characteristic being evaluated in order to determine the speed of rotation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for measuring a hollow space, preferably a tunnel, using a split-beam device arranged on a carriage and a video camera pointing towards this device. Using a light plane radiated in a coplanar manner towards a plate (1), a sharply marked profile is generated on the gallery wall which, together with a plumb bob (11), a scale (12) and a counting device (16) arranged in the area of the front wheel (4) of the carriage is recorded by the video camera. An uninterrupted image of the gallery is generated by continuously moving the carriage. The position of the individual profiles in the space is determined with the aid of a reference beam generated by a light source (17) arranged in the gallery and calibrated, the reference beam generating a reference spot (14) on the plate which is continuously recorded by the camera (6).

Abstract: A guidewire replacement device having an elongated catheter shaft with an inner lumen extending within the catheter shaft, a proximal guidewire port spaced at least 1 cm from the distal end of the catheter which is in fluid communication with the inner lumen and a distal guidewire port in the distal end of the catheter which is also in fluid communication with the inner lumen. The proximal end of an in-place guidewire is inserted through the distal guidewire port and advanced through the inner lumen until the proximal end of the guidewire extends through the proximal guidewire port. The exchange device is advanced over the guidewire until the distal end of the exchange device is seated within the proximal guidewire port in the readily exchangeable dilatation catheter. With the distal end of the exchange device well seated within the proximal guidewire port of the dilatation catheter, the in-place guidewire can be withdrawn from the patient. A replacement guidewire is advanced through the inner lumen of the exchange device until it exits the distal guidewire port of the exchange device into the inner guidewire receiving lumen of the dilatation catheter. Once the replacement guidewire is properly placed, the exchange device can then be withdrawn from the patient.

Abstract: Method and electrodes (individual or composite) for detection and measurement of hydrogen peroxide by electrolytic analysis (especially amperometrically), in which the electrode has a surface coating of selective permeability formed by electrolytically oxidising a phenolic compound (especially phenol itself or dopamine). This is especially applicable to examination of biological samples, e.g. blood or serum. The electrode is preferably platinum, and during the coating procedure and/or use may be surrounded with a permeable membrane (e.g. polymer, and especially a polycarbonate 0.03 to 0.05 (my)m thick). The properties of the coating may be controlled, e.g. by the applied voltage for the oxidation, and is usually 0.1 (my)m or less in thickness. One form of assembly uses such a coated electrode as anode, with a surrounding cathode and a membrane retaining an electrolyte, preferably buffered. The hydrogen peroxide may be present as such or produced by an enzyme system.
